Ed that "his decision would depend
upon circumstances" q wondered
what they were
It was also arranged that Rena was
to accompany Winnie still as her faith
full attendant and maid and little
Lula, at Aunt Fanny's request, was to
be taken in charge by herself, and
make her home at "W Woodlawn" until
she should be old enough to be sent
to suitable boarding school. DIR.
Barron said he would shut up, or rent
the house at Barronville, and travel
in Europe, trip that he had long de-
sired to make.
Philip urged him to go with them
to New York ON his way, but he said,
che could not settle up his business in
time, but would follow them in about
a month";
The days passed swiftly by, and
Thursday morning came.
At seven o'clock the gentle Winnie,
accompanied by her stepfather and
myself, entered the parlor at Barron
vile, and DIR. Barron placed her hand
upon Philips arm. She wore fawn-
colored dress of etamine, heavily trim
med with a fringe of chenille, small
collar, and cuffs of valenciennes, and
! kid gloves the color of her dress. Her
/ hat was OF lawn celored velvet, with a
long plume q shade darker, and
crimson rose underneath. She was
pale, but perfectly composed, and
looked very beautiful. Philip looked
proud and happy as he received her
from her steptather; and when
his brother pronounced the sol
emn but beautiful and impressive
words that made them ''man and wife"
forever, his handsome faced flushed
with Joy, and as he turned to receive
the greetings of his friends / saw that
his blue eyes were filed with tears of
love and tenderness for the lovely Gre
ature at his side.
The Vivian household were all pres
ent, but I was her only bridesmaid,
and Ernest the only male attendant.
Philip had asked DR.. Walker but he
declined, saying it ''made him feel
blue and lonesome
[ had only time to resume my black
travelling dress when the carriages
came up, large baggage wagon on
behind, and everything was made
ready for departure. The Vivians
and Miss Priscilla, all accompanied
US to the same little station at which
I had, but few months before, aligh-
!, ted from the train with so sad and
lonely heart. Charlie Vivian called
to me and asked "if [ remembered
cur famous moonlight ride % and
told him that " could never forget it. ;
: Then the loving good-byes,' % with
= many promises to write, &c." and
we were on the steaming train, which
, puffed and blew, and then carried u:
swiftly onward. DR.. Walker also was
! with us, but told us "good- d-bye " a
Union, and turned his face toward
. Mexico
, At Weldon, North Carolina, there
was another parting, but not SO sad
, as Winnie seemed to grow brighte
+ and happier at every stage OF oul
= Journey. When we embraced il
7 parting, she said,
" Phil and owe all our happines
. to yost, and we will exchange visits
and talk it all over, won't we p
p They are settled now in New York
, and Philip has bought uncle Ed
! house On 50th street, where they liv
!. in great elegance and comfort, as wei
as in perfect happiness.
The business which detained Df
Barron for month at his old hcme
was to effect a sale of his property
/ from which he realized an amour
sufficient to restore third OF Winnie
:, fortune, and also to make settlemen
sufficient for Lula's education. Then
; having arranged this, he set forth upo
his journey across the Atlantic.
